Daily Gun Pictures Presents: 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer G-6 "Rhino"

The 155mm artillery howitzer developed by the South Africa Republic began in the late 70-ties. The artillery gun itself was developed by Canadian Space Research Corporation, by the requirements of "Armscor." The first test example was built in 1981. Since then it passed army trials and participated in military operations in Angola. Furthermore it was one of the most important weapon system in the Angolan War. Self-propelled gun-howitzer entered service with South African army in 1988 and was designated as G-6 "Rhino." There are approximately 40 of these artillery units operational with South Africa Republic. The G-6 is also in service with United Arabian Emirates army.

Daily Gun Pictures Presents: Facts about Silencers

Facts about Silencers:

They call them silencers but in fact they are a sound suppressor. They reduce the noise level (decibel) that the human ear hears, and even this varies from person to person.

There are two types of Gun Suppressors:
Wet and Dry.
A 'Wet' Suppressor uses either grease (a gel) or water to help reduce the sound, that's called muffling the sound.
A 'Dry' Suppressor, which is the more common used today. This simply screws onto a threaded barrel.

There are two 'Dry Suppressor' types:
Solid Core Piece - it essentially is like a barrel on a gun, you use the same cleaning tool as you do to clean the barrel of your handgun or rifle.
Parts Assembled - This type allows the user to take the suppressor apart to clean it thoroughly.

To reduce the sound a firearm makes, such as a 22 caliber or 9mm pistol should use sub sonic ammo (bullets) should be used.

A 'Silencer' does not have to be large as you see in the movies although they are readily used. The newer suppressors use titanium and the suppressor is smaller in length and diameter and not nearly as heavy.

To mount a suppressor on a semi auto handgun you must have 3 basic parts.
First – A threaded extended Barrel.
Second – An Adapter that screws onto the threaded barrel, then onto the suppressor.
Third – The Suppressor unit itself that either quick disconnects onto the threaded adapter or screws onto the adapter piece.

Often times the Suppressor is made specifically for a type of gun. For example one of the most common handguns in America is a Glock. To accommodate the Glock some people elect to have an elevated sight put onto the suppressor for better sight and aiming.

Glock at the moment does not make an extended barrel for most of it's handguns. So for a suppressor to fit a Glock you have to buy a third party gun barrel with a threaded piece for the suppressor to fit.
This is why many people who want to own a Suppressor legally in the USA end up buying an H&K (USP Tactical Series); Sig Sauer (such as the P220); or Beretta handgun (such as the 92 Series) with an extended barrel, then have the barrel threaded, if necessary, by the suppressor manufacturer or a third party that specializes in doing so.

History of Airsoft Guns

Back in 1970 there was a big interest in firearms by the general population but it was illegal to own them. This spurted top manufacturers to create plastic spring powered guns that were replicas of the real thing. These toy guns used plastic pellets called BB’s as bullets that eventually became a standard 6mm and 8mm in size.

The earlier spring guns soon evolved into gas powered ones and airsoft gunplay became a popular sport. In 1990 the hobby of airsoft gunplay spilled over to NortCheap airsoft guns riflesh America, and it was then that the low powered cheaper spring guns were transformed into classic airsoft guns.

In the year 2000 automatic electric guns hit the market and many of the original airsoft manufactures in Japan went out of business as Japan hit a big recession, and only Tokyo Marui was left to be the primary manufacturer of these guns. Since then the AEG (automatic electric guns) market has grown to become the most popular of the airsoft replica guns. Mostly because a large number of manufacturers joined in from China and Taiwan to create airsoft gun replicas.

Today almost every type of real military weapon is replicated in airsoft style, including, auto and semi-auto, rifles, shotguns and hand guns, it is an intricate and realistic hobby for many who participate in the military battle style games with airsoft guns at the many commercial battle groAirsoft Guns Automaticunds all over the US.

The original source of the actual military type style of play that is so popular with airsoft gun enthusiasts is unknown, but its popularity continues from 2001 to the present as many enjoy the hobby of battle with airsoft guns.

Saddam Hussein's Golden Gun Collection

Colt Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR)

The Colt IAR is Colt’s entry in the Marine IAR competition for a lightweight automatic rifle to replace the SAW in certain situations. It is an interesting weapon.

Under the barrel you can see a hefty heatsink. This is used to prevent cook-offs (when the primer of a chambered round is ignited by a hot chamber). It weights 9.5 lbs and has a 16″ barrel.

smglee ausa huge dscn0965 tm Colt Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR) photo

It looks like the barrel may be be changed by simply removing the bolt you can see just in front of the magazine well.

Surprisingly the rifle/machine gun does not use a gas piston and uses the AR-15/M16 direct gas impingement system.

The above photo does show a Magpul PMAG but the Marines have specified that the IAR must be compatible with 30 USGI magazines, so it is unlikely the military will be adopting PMAGs, even in a limited role with the IAR.

Other IAR entries can operate with either an open bolt, in automatic fire, or closed bolt in semi automatic mode. This allows the accuracy benefits of a closed bolt with the heat reduction and reduced chance of a cook off of a closed bolt. I am not sure if this weapon has this feature.

Colt already have a lightweight automatic rifle, the Colt Automatic Rifle (CAR), which itself may meet the Marines requirements. I do not know if the Colt IAR has anything in common with the CAR, other than the shared AR-15 heritage.

ParaUSA LTC – Gun Blog 9

ParaUSA was kind enough to provide me with a firearm for the duration of the event, a 9mm customized version of their LTC platform. Hit the link to check out the standard version of the gun. The pistols that we had in 9mm were slightly different from the standard version, as you can see. (Note: Click all pictures for the fullsize version.) The flash wiped out the coyote brown finish a little bit in this picture, but the rest of the details of the pistol should be readily apparent. It had a single action trigger, a fiber-optic front sight, adjustable sights on the rear, an ambi-safety, skeletonized hammer and trigger, and of course the cherry on the Sundae of Awesome, a pair of Crimson Trace laser grips.

When I first saw it, I thought to myself “this is a pretty cool heater”, and then I flipped it over and looked at the right side of the gun, which pretty much cemented my decision to purchase right then and there. I mean come on, who wouldn’t want a gun that said “Gun Blog 9″ on the side, right? As to the actual shooting, I had not previously spent a lot of time with the 1911 platform, having maybe put 500 rounds downrange out of 1911s in my entire life, which really isn’t a whole lot. I didn’t have anything against the platform, I thought that it was a fine gun for stuff, it just didn’t fit my needs.

Putting north of 1500 rounds through this gun changed my opinion of 1911s, not because I now think it’s the ultimate weapons platform, but I understand the gun a lot better. I still don’t like grip safeties very much, but I will say that the 1911 grip angle pointed more naturally than any other handgun I’ve ever run; the fact that when I listed to Todd Jarrett and did my part that the Para LTC would come right back on target didn’t hurt either.

I shot more than 1500 rounds of ammo through this gun, and I had exactly 1, count it 1, failure to feed, fire, or eject. The gun was on it’s 700th-ish round, and hadn’t been cleaned and failed to fully chamber a round, a malfunction that was easily fixed by a sharp “whack” to the rear of the slide to seat the bullet. In terms of accuracy, the ParaUSA LTC is far more accurate than I can hold. In fact, once I figured out the Kentucky windage, I was able to easily knock down 8 inch steel plates at 35-40ish yards with the pistol, which was a fun sort of “bang-wait-clang” exercise.

Now, the LTC is designed as a carry gun – as soon as I get my mitts on mine, that’s exactly what’s going to happen to it, is it’s going to end up riding around in a holster with me whenever I put my pants on. I’ll get the adjustable sights lined up for 147 grain hollow points and then we’ll be off to the races with my new gun. It’s light, and even with a full mag will be much, much easier to conceal than my much beloved 92D.

Here’s the part that hurts a bit. I liked the ParaUSA LTC so much that it turned me on to 1911s, and after spending 12 hours in a car with Tamara, I’m now equipped to make a smart decision on what kind of pistol to buy as a starting point to my .45 ACP 1911…which will end up getting used in Custom Defensive Pistol in IDPA and Single Stack Classic in USPSA.

If you were wondering how I felt about the Para LTC – Gun Blog edition, I loved mine. I’m (of course), going to buy it, and can’t wait to get the FFL and all that other stuff squared away so I can get it in my hot little hands. If you’re looking for a Commander sized 1911 but don’t want the whack and roll of a .45, think Para LTC. Seriously, this was a fantastic gun. If you don’t believe me, check out the video Sebastian posted. I’m the only one with an LTC in the video, and you can see it in action at around 2:37 mark. That’s six steel plates, and we had to shoot them in the order 1,6,2,3,4,5. The gun was so fast back on target that I nailed them in about 4 seconds with no misses. My LTC is going to be used as carry gun, and an IDPA and steel gun, and I can’t wait for my first match.
